lyrics

It’s all on you
It’s all on you
Baby blue
Shot down by you

The city gates
The world awaits
Sick and tired
Uninspired twist of faith

You say you never intended
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters
Caught in a violent mess

And I wait longer
As you grow stronger
I watch you hesitate
In the night stillness
Illegal settlers
The children beg for bread

What hurts the most
In silent crowds
Tolerant elite empaths
Don’t speak so loud

And you refuse
When your needed most
See refugees in cardboard boxes
Starving

And I wait longer
As you grow stronger
Like hardline criminals
Misinformation
Sensationalising wars
Oh the children beg for bread

You say you never intended
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters
Caught in a violent mess

You never defended
You never defended us
So many pretty eyes dying
Leaders look oblivious

It’s all on you
It’s all on you
Baby Blue
Fingerprints on you

And you refuse
When your needed most
A darkness we have known
Is my vision impaired

And I stayed longer
Than I should have done
I wait for you to wake
